Professional Plating (PPI) has been a preferred supplier and partner of Lincoln Industries for more than ten years. Currently, PPI processes and finishes more than 130 different part numbers for Lincoln Industries. Over the years PPI has become a key player in Lincoln Industries growth strategy as a member of Lincoln Industries’ supplier advisory council. At Lincoln Industries, we rely on PPI and their competent people to meet customer commitments, projects quality requirements and timelines. PPI continuously meets our demanding criteria for delivery performance, customer support and business impact. During the last couple years we have re-sourced multiple projects from poor performing suppliers to PPI. Cosmetic gloss powder is a difficult finish and very few companies have the systems and the technical abilities that PPI has, to be able to consistently process it successfully. Lincoln Industries people and PPI people have very close business relationships at each level and work closely on a daily basis. We appreciate PPI’s commitment as we work together to meet or exceed the high expectations of our customers.

Professional Plating is an absolute pleasure to do business with. They work with their customers to find efficiencies with quality at the forefront. If a certain process needs improvement, they are more than happy to make suggestions as well as explore additional certifications for new business opportunities. Their facility is the cleanest, and most organized plant I have seen. Customer service is quick to respond and is always friendly. I can trust that when I send parts their way I don’t have to worry.

We are a production machining operation that has worked with Professional Plating for more than 25 years. We directly supply and support only major O.E.M. customers’ production lines, and importantly, Professional Plating thoroughly understands what we reference as “production mentality”. They provide consistent highest quality plating. They are extremely responsive in terms of on-time delivery and including expediting as necessary; they understand that our product has to move when it has to move day and night and weekends. Professional’s quoting is rapid and extremely consistent, and their pricing is highly competitive. Professional Plating has also invested capital in their business processes and capacities over time in direct support of ours as our business has grown and we have increased our plating and painting needs and requirements . Also very important, Professional’s people are just that: always highly professional and terrific to work with. Professional Plating has substantively contributed to our competitiveness and business growth across many years as a truly strategic supplier partner.

Over the course of our 30 years in business we have developed a great partnership with Professional Plating. We strive on quality so it is nice to know when we send parts to PPI that the quality of our parts coming back will be exceptional. In our industry lead time is very important, it’s nice to work with a company who recognizes that and helps to keep our on-time delivery. Customer Service along with the rest of the team go above and beyond. They are tentative to all situations and I love working with them. I look forward to working with Professional Plating for many years to come.
